Buy carbon fiber finders and reprint the bumper

800$ for the fender
400$ for front bumper
50$ for a new marker light

You don't want it on your car fax

I have it on my carfax and my car value is way less now

Not sure I agree if your deductible is low turn this into the insurance immediately. Since your vehicle was parked in a parking lot and there is no visible structural damage these things actually don't make it onto your carfax report. I had a 2011 Buick Regal that someone slammed into and ripped the bumper off in a parking lot. Went through insurance and nothing on the Carfax after and sold my car for above Bluebook. Not sure what the details of your situation are that made this happen, but out of the 4 to 5 times I have had to report parking lot incidents I have never had them impact the value of the vehicle. Even if this got on the Carfax, this kind of collision doesn't lower the value of the car significantly.

Unfortunately...they will have to blend because of the damage to the fender. This means they will be painting your door too.

Unfortunately for me...they didn't blend my hood. I suggest you just have them do that as well. Because they didn't blend the hood, in certain lights I can see a difference in shade between the fender and the hood on that one side. I'm used to plastic bumpers not matching perfectly, they really don't even from the factory, but seeing that fender/hood non-match has bugged me enough that now the shop is completely redoing the entire job. And I went to a reputable and highly rated shop. SWP is a bitch.

Where did you get the fender for 200$???!

Some of the headlight clips are broken, but can't justify spending 800 on a new one, the headlight itself isn't cracked. I'll post up posted after I'm done installing everything.

I'm ball parking at $350 repair! Crossing fingers..

Can I also get the same thing done with my car?? If possible could I get the right fender from where you got yours?

Man I would be pissed. Repair is looking great. Keep up the good work

Got the fender out on unpainted to see if there are any fitment issues and everything fit perfectly!

Fender is getting painted right now and I should be on the road next week.
